CORPORAL PIKE.
His Daring Exploits as Scout and Spy.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: would like
TO inform Capt. j. w. Hinkley, Of Sparta. Wis
that the name Of his 9th Ohio cavalryman.
whose exploits he narrated in The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE recently, was Corporal Pike; his ini-
tials connot now recall. lie lived for a num-
Der Of years after the war at Portsmouth, o.
He was a noted scout, and did service under
several of the prominent Generals Of the Armies
Of the Cumberland and Tennessee. After the
war he wrote a book called the "Scout and
Spy" an interesting narrative Of his exploits
and hairbreadth escapes.
In this book may be found an account of the
Fayetteville episode, which differs only in two
particulars from the story told in the Captains
narrative. One Of them is that the citizens
professed not 20 believe that he was Yankee
and they insisted that if he was he should play
them Yankee trick" III / remember cor
rectly his book states that there were seven
wagons, instead Of five, that he had burned and
he directed the teamsters 10 go into the village
and inform the citizens that the Yankee trick
had been played, aud that if il was not salts
factory he would call around at some other
time and give them another exhibition.

The truth Of the thrilling narratives con.
tanned in this book was vOuched for by several
Of our prominent Generals, among the number
being, think, the name of Sherman. The in

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Under the
above caption IL. A. Trip insinuates that Com
rade Bissell, 3lst Mass, gives A. J. Smiths men
too much credit for the part they performed in
the Red River campaign. Perhaps Comrade
Bissell does not mean that the day at Sabine
Crossroads was saved by the arrival Of A. J.
Smiths men. The latter do not claim TO have
saved the day AT Sabine Crossroads for we were
not there, and, as Trip says, got no nearer
than Pleasant Hill. But if Smiths men had
not been at Pleasant Hill on the morning Of
April 3, probably Comrade Trip never would
have written anything for The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, for everybody knows that Banks
would not have made a stand with his retreat
ing army at Pleasant Hill, il Smith had not
urged him 10 do SO; and even If he had. with
out the aid Of Smith he would have been badly
whipped. The Maine boys and the Massachn-
sets boys and all the rest fought like tigers at
Pleasant Hill under A. j. Smith. Their being
beaten at Sabine Crossroads is no discredit 10
them.
j make the claim that Smiths men saved
the entire Red River expedition from being
gobbled, for we covered the retreat the whole
distance, and at "Old Oaks" near tie mouth
Of Rcd River, Smiths troops, alone, fought all
day 10 keep the enemy at bay while Banks,
with the Thirteenth and Nineteenth Corps,
laid the pontoons. The claim is too often set

ern men. If there was any difference il was
the fault Of the officers and not of the men,

Now, in view of the fact that each Of us kept

any more than right and just that Congress

The rebels made three distinct charges on the

In Prison Cell.


George NJ. Searle, Co. F, 9th Mass, Lowell,
Mass, writing of Andersonvillc says there was
q battery of five or six field guns on the high
ground at the southwest corner outside of the
stockade. The rebels used to have their guard
mounting near this battery. Hesays he first en-
tered Andersonville in June, 1864, at the south
gate, and at that time there were stocks for
the punishment of prisoners at the right of the
gate as they wentin. How long they remained
there he is unable to say. In regard to the
questions asked by Comrade Payne as to the
truthfulness of the statement that women and
boys threw dirty water in the faces of prison.
ers in the streets of Richmond, he says he does
not know about that. but he does know that
the women and children who thronged the
streets to see the "Yanks" would frequently
spit in their faces, which he thinks was just as
bad.
C. III. Knox, Corporal. Co. l., 1st Conn. Cav,
Schroon Lake, n. Y, says he was Mt Anderson
willie from May %, 1864, until the last of Octo-
Der following. During that time there were
no cannon mounted anywhere on the stOckade,
neither were there any stocks at the south
gate. There was fort some 10 or 10 reds
southwest from the stOckade, which mounted
eight guns, and five or six rods east of the fort
were stocks The writer saw from one to four
prisoners confined at a time in the stocks on
numerous occasions. The writer was employed
outside Of the stockade for considerable time,
and he says he knows what he is talking about.
]. j. Kendall, Corporal, Co. III, lst Mimi,
Window, Mimi, thinks the contemplated pris-
oners' pension bill is unjust to many who suf-
fered in confinement, because it only recog-
nizes those who were in the bands OF the rebels
80 days or longer. He says that he with thou
sands OF others were captured during the seven
days fighting around Richmond. They were
confined ut Richmond on Belle Isle for five
weeks. Hundreds died ard hundreds more
might as well have died, from the rotten food
and poor water with which they were supplied.
The writer thinks that these men who lost
their health are just as deserving as those who
were confined for longer time. and are just as
much entitled to relief. He says that when he
was captured he weighed l52 pounds, and after
his exchange 81.
